STRANGER TO LOVERS

HIM OR HER?(CH-13)

Zoya got bit anxious but still she did gave an audition

Mam: okay fine that's it get down from stage Zoya

Gautami: so mam is she selected?

Mam: wait gautami zoya thank you for the audition you can go back to your class I want to talk to gautami

They both got little suspicious as what is she gonna talk to gautami that she can't say in front of Zoya

Gautami: yes mam what happened?

Mam: look I don't want to make Zoya feel bad I don't think so she can debate really I mean she is very average so I don't know how can this girl can debate like even abhyuday was better than her

Gautami: mam...

Mam: I am sorry gautami we can't take her because I thought I will remove abhyuday if she performed better but I guess now I don't have to

All this was heard by akshat standing outside the auditorium
And him being the evil guy he is
He knew what he wanted to do now...

Gautami came back from auditorium and was on the way to her class feeling sad for Zoya and thinking about how is she gonna face her now
Should she tell her about what mam said to her
But doesn't she will feel bad and disappointed
Gautami can't see Zoya like this
But she really didn't got any option too

being lost in these thoughts while on the way to class she accidentally hits abhyuday who was btw going to her only in the excuse of washroom

They both clashed...

Abhy: ohh sorry... gautami tu kaha thi yaar mei tere paas hi as raha tha...kya hua itni Sadi Hui shakal kyu bana rakhi hai? Kuch hua kya?

Gautami: sorry...wo abhy...tu...arey kuch nahi hua yaar

Abhy: acha chal class mei Chalke baat karte hai...

Bell rings school got over

They both went to class to take their bags
And gautami sees Zoya their obviously
Even she is waiting for gautami to tell her what just happened their in auditorium?
What did she say?
So many questions roaming in their heads

Zoya quickly went to gautami just as she entered the class...

Zoya: gautami kya hua? Kya bola mam ne? Jaldi bata?? Mei kabse teko dhund rahi thi Am I selected??

Gautami: sun yaar ek baar niche chalte hai then I will tell you everything

Abhy: haa guys please niche Chalke saari baate bata dena already sab chale gaye hai

Here pratyush comes in too...

Pratyush: abeyy ohh abhu dhabiii kaha pe tha tu mei kabse dhund Raha hu tuje yaar

Abhy: Abey yaar ye kya hide and seek thodi chal Raha hai ye usko dhund rahi hai hai tu muje...hatt chalo yaar sab niche

They all went out of the school standing near a shop outside their school

Zoya: Abey yaar gautami bata naa kya bola tuje mam ne

Gautami: yaar Zoya listen she didn't selected you she said that you are not good enough to debate

Abhy: debate??

Gautami: has she also wanted to take part in debate competition but...

Zoya almost being teary eyes and disappointed

Gautami: heyy I am sorry yaar but tension mat le abhi or bohot opportunities aayengi yk in life or maybe better this is not the last thing right (holds her hands to console her)

Abhy: (pats zoya's shoulder to console her)
Yaar don't be sad Zoya gautami sahi keh Rahi hai tuje isse bhi better chances and opportunities milengi

Pratyush: Abey yarr chill kar Zoya hum log haina tere sath

Zoya: pratyush tu to rehne hi de yarr tu to bohot khush hoga tum logo ke liye naa bohot easy hai ye kehna right?

Gautami: noo yaar mei to chahti hi thi Naa yarr tu bhi select ho and I tried naa now not everything is in my hands naa

Abhy: exactly yaar

Pratyush: zoya I know humari past mei nhi bantu thi but that doesn't mean ki mei Tera bura chahunga yaar

Zoya: I know you guys it's okay

Gautami: sun chal abhi hum chalte hai late ho Raha hai chill kar tension mat le jyada okay?
 
Abhyuday and gautami went together as usual by walking to their homes

Pratyush went by bus
Zoya was waiting for her van to come still

She was obviously still feeling quite bad and disappointed about herself
Gautami still didn't told her what exactly mam told her about her and abhy

Akshat is waiting for his friends outside the school while he noticed Zoya standing just in front of her opposite side to him
He saw her while remembering something he heard about her outside the auditorium

Now he knew what he was going to do...
Akshat went upto Zoya to tell her about it

Akshat: Heyy Zoya! What's up

Zoya: (with low tone) Hi

Akshat: kya hua tuje sab thik hai?

Zoya: ha

Akshat: btw gautami ne teko bataya ki tu select kyu nahi hui?

Zoya: What?? Aapko kese pata ye bhaiya

Akshat: abeyy mere paas sources har jagah ki khabar pata rehti hai
But it's sad yaar ki usne tere or abhyuday mei se usko better bataya mam ke saamne
Like tu uski childhood friend or wo abhyuday wo to abhi ki dost bana

Zoya: kyaa matlab mam ke saamne kya bola or abhyuday se to hundred times better hu how can... bhaiya aap Puri baat batao

Akshat: Teri hi dost hai ab mene jitna suna uske hisab se to mam actually confused thi tere or abhyuday me se kisko ye last participant du and gautami requested ki abhyuday ko lo Zoya is very average he is definitely better than her

Zoya felt so betrayed and sad that how can her friend do this to her
Her world seemed to be fell apart after hearing those words from akshat
She was in shock
She felt jealous of him
She still can't believe how fast the nights have changes yesterday it was her now it's him for gautami
She is heartbroken
Like who said breakup hurts the most...

Zoya: Whatt how can she...choose him between me and him...bhaiya dekho aap jhooth to nahi bol rahe ho Naa pakka?

Akshat: school me Naa kisi bhi known bande se puch liyo agar believe nahi ho Raha to...
